Re: don't remember if I posted this during ASCO--good results for her2 vaccine

I will be seeing my oncologist next week, and I will ask him about this. I am completely unfamiliar with trials, but am nearing the end of my year of Herceptin. After reading the article, I might be a candidate. I hesitate because of the questions I have....how do I pay for this, what do all those acronyms stand for, will I miss a lot of work again this year, what about side effects, and so on. I notice there are several sites in TX, but do I need to be military to go to Ft. Hood? What a wealth of information you all are! Thank you.
